Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 2.

Therefore, a calcium atom contains two valence electrons and in order to attain stability it needs to lose two electrons.

Hence, it acquires a charge of +2 as Ca^{2+} by loss of two electrons.

As, according to the octet rule there must be eight electrons in the valence shell.

Thus, we can conclude that calcium obey the octet rule when reacting to form compounds as gives up electrons.

Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, and the average height of the falls is about 50 m. Knowing
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

1) The power of Niagara Falls is 1.176 × 10⁹ W

2) The number of 15 W LED light bulbs it could power is 78.4 × 10⁶ light bulbs

Explanation:

1) The Niagara falls water mass flow rate = 2,400,000 kg/s

The height of the fall = 50 meters

The gravitational potential energy = Mass (kg) × height (m) × gravity (9.8 m/s²)

The power = The energy converted per second = Mass flow rate (kg/s) × height (m) × gravity (9.8 m/s²)

Therefore;

The power of Niagara Falls= 2,400,000 kg/s × 50 m ×9.8 m/s²= 1.176 × 10⁹ W

The power of Niagara Falls = 1.176 × 10⁹ W

2) The number, n, of 15 W LED light bulbs it could power is given by the relation;

n × 15 W = 1.176 × 10⁹ W

∴ n = 1.176 × 10⁹ W/(15 W) = 78.4 × 10⁶ light bulbs

The number of 15 W LED light bulbs it could power = 78.4 × 10⁶ light bulbs.
